Providence Canyon State Outdoor Recreation Area is called Georgia’s “little Grand Canyon”. 

There is no regular campground but there are 6 backcountry campsites and three pioneer group sites. We visited the pioneer site #3 with enclosed pavilion , grill, picnic tables and restroom facilities. Excellent for large group outings. Reservations online can be for specific pioneer sites. If you reserve a backcountry site it is not specific. 

The Canyon offers a lot to explore. Realize you will have sand in everything by the time your done ;). 

The Canyon was created by bad farming practices in the 1800 but it now offers some picturesque views. While your hiking the rim you will see some of the “refuse” left on old homesteads, (ie rusted vehicles).

Some of the canyons open up into barren “valleys” others have a LOT of vegetation. 

There’s not much nearby so make sure you pack what you need the first time. Bug spray is a must and mosquito screen or netting. 

I completed the Canyon Climbers Club this year and this was one of the four canyons to hike. https://gastateparks.org/CanyonClimbersClub
